The World with Teja

Some people hike to reach high points, for the view. But what makes a cool hike for me is discovering surprise weird things, like this insect with a house of sticks, climbing onto a rock!#weirdinsect #hiking #coolinsect #TidbitThursday

For today's #FridayInspiration, here's a simple video sharing from an island community organisation in a Malaysian Marine Park, demonstrating a newly-acquired glass grinding machine, which enables the island to recycle waste glass into construction materials!

Cintai TiomanSince 2014 we have been looking for a way to deal with the glass waste on tioman. we could not recycle it on mainland and there were only a few upcycling options. Thanks to funding from Yayasan Sime Darby we were able to buy this glass crushing machine last month. the machine allows us to turn glass into sand which can be used for construction. the machine is house and managed by Rumah Hijau Tioman so please send your glass bottles there.
